Crohn's Disease Summary. 1  Crohn's disease is characterized by transmural inflammation involving any part of the gastrointestinal tract. 2  The diagnosis of Crohn's disease is based on a constellation of clinical, endoscopic, radiographic, and histological findings, with negative stool cultures. The differential diagnosis of Crohn's disease includes infectious colitis, diverticulitis, celiac sprue, intestinal lymphoma, radiation enteropathy, NSAID use, and ischemic colitis. Treatment options depend on the severity of disease as well as the behavior of disease.

Diagnosis Your doctor will likely diagnose Crohn's disease only after ruling out other possible causes for your signs and symptoms. There is no one test to diagnose Crohn's disease. Your doctor will likely use a combination of endoscopy with biopsies and radiological testing to help confirm a diagnosis of Crohn's disease. Your doctor may suggest blood tests to check for anemia — a condition in which there aren't enough red blood cells to carry adequate oxygen to your tissues — or to check for signs of infection. 2  Expert guidelines do not currently recommend antibody or genetic testing for Crohn's disease.

Differential diagnosis Often each individual option of a possible disease is called a differential diagnosis (for example, bronchitis could be a differential diagnosis in the evaluation of a cough that ends up with a final diagnosis of common cold).he differential diagnostic procedure may be simplified if a ' pathognomonic ' sign or symptom is found (in which case it is almost certain that the target condition is present) or in the absence of a sine qua non sign or symptom (in which case it is almost certain that the target condition is absent).

Signs and symptoms often include abdominal pain, diarrhea (which may be bloody if inflammation is severe), fever, and weight loss.Other complications may occur outside the gastrointestinal tract and include anemia, skin rashes, arthritis, inflammation of the eye, and tiredness.he percentage of people with Crohn's disease has been determined in Norway and the United States and is similar at 6 to 7.1:100,000. The Crohn's and Colitis Foundation of America cites this number as approx 149:100,000; NIH cites 28 to 199 per 100,000.

Overview Crohn disease is not a distinct histopathologic entity. Although described and named after its author in 1932, Crohn disease was not clinically, histologically, or radiographically distinguished from ulcerative colitis until 1959. Currently, the diagnosis of Crohn disease entails an analysis of clinical, radiologic, endoscopic, pathologic, and stool specimen results.
